ROTTING CHRIST - Khronos

A bit of a side-step, if not backwards to the days when the Greeks offended both visual and aural senses. The representation of the Rotting Christ moniker is depicted through the color artwork, as well as musically. Sakis admits to a conscious re-dressing of last year's more gothic Sleep Of The Angels. Throughout the dozen cuts, guitar and guttural voice are at the fore, with synth riding beneath. The conclusion of 'If It Ends Tomorrow' takes time to develop a legitimate guitar break, while 'My Sacred Path' opens in a swirl of electronic effects and staccato riffs, thankfully a path ventured down again only on 'Fateless'. The non-promotional copies of the disc will include a CD-ROM version of the video for 'After Dark I Feel.'
